Mga Babae (The Girls)


Mga sandal, bag, manicure, pedicure, mga laki.
Mao ra ba gyud kini ang ka busyhan sa mga bayi prmi?
Manglibak, magtsmis gkan buntag hng2d gabii!
Hala, kining mga babaye, wla gyud pul-i!
Apan, mao ba gayud ang sukdanan?
Sa imung pagkababae…cguro, dli mn.
Aw, wala lang, kining babae luyu sa screen,
Nagpaminaw sa gibati ug nagpaabot
Sa sakit nga sobra pa sa binhud,
Mawagtang, mahanaw arun dli nasab magtukaw
Sa pagpaabut sa sakit nga unta mulakaw.




(A random piece)

This is a Visayan poem.
This poem talks about girls who loves gossiping and doing all those mundane and trivial stuff like manis, pedis and boys almost all day everyday, from night til day. Yet they somehow want to do those anyway. However, this also says that the latter things mentioned is not the way we measure a girl.This poem was made out of annoyance of the physical pain that keeps you up all night (i.e. all girls have been experiencing) and when will it disappear eventually.
